About this product
Product Information
The home of Martin Luther for thirty six years and seat of the German Reformation, Wittenberg, Germany is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wittenberg has long been Protestant sacred space, but since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the city and surrounding region have been developing their considerable cultural capital. Today, Wittenberg is host to two large-scale annual Luther-themed festivals, and is becoming a center for pilgrimage and heritage tourism. In a recent study, Charles Taylor notes that festivity is experiencing a renaissance as "one of the new forms of religion in our world." Festivals and pilgrimage routes are an integral part of contemporary religion and spirituality, and important cultural institutions in a globalized world. In Performing the Reformation, Stephenson offers a field-based case study of contemporary festivity and pilgrimage in the City of Luther. Welcome to Lutherland, where atheists dress up as monks and nuns for Luther's Wedding; conservative Lutherans work to sacralize the secular, carnival-like festivities; and medieval players, American Gospel singers, and Peruvian pan flute bands compete for the attention of the bustling crowds. Festivals and tourism in Wittenberg include a range of performative genres (parades and processions, liturgies and concerts, music and dance), cut across multiple cultural domains (religion, politics, economics), and effect connections and shifts among identities (religious, secular, American, German, traditional, postmodern). Incorporating visual methodologies and grounded in historical and social contexts, Stephenson provides an on-the-ground account of the annual Luther's Wedding Festival, the Reformation Day Festival, and Lutheran pilgrimage. He also brings his case study into dialogue with important methodological and theoretical issues informing the fields of ritual studies and performance studies.

Reviews
Future historians of the Luther Decade and the coming quincentennial of the Reformantion will undoubtedly count Performing the Reformation as one of their most cherished sources for its rich images of the contested state of Luther and the Reformation today., "This book challenges the reader to think in a complex manner about historical places and one's own role in visiting them...but the main points of Stephenson's analysis are clear enough even for a non-specialist."--Lutheran Quarterly, "This book challenges the reader to think in a complex manner about historical places and one's own role in visiting them...but the main points of Stephenson's analysis are clear enough even for a non-specialist."--Lutheran Quarterly"Performing the Reformation takes a refreshing look at the many layers of religion in contemporary popular culture. Luther's hometown Wittenberg is described as an open-air museum, religious shrine, theatrical stage, political arena, and commercialized theme-park all rolled into one. Highlighting a range of theories of culture and religion, Barry Stephenson offers an intelligent and sensitive analysis that is not just great scholarship but also fun toread." ---Professor R. Ruard Ganzevoort, VU University, Amsterdam

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
